“Laura was so amazing!! We left our 4 month old puppy with her and she was extremely accommodating. She communicated with us throughout the whole process and even sent us updates, since our 5 year old son was pretty concerned about leaving his best friend with a stranger. I felt very comforted knowing Sylvie was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Wally had so much fun and was so well taken care of by Dylan. He came home happy and healthy and relaxed. Wally can be a lot -- he likes a lot of tennis balls to be thrown pretty much constantly and Dylan did an awesome job keeping him exercised and entertained. And I received lots of photos which was super nice and reassuring. Thank you, Dylan!”

“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”

“Tammy took great care of our golden. She texted often to give us updates on how he was doing and we knew he was in good hands. We look forward to working with Tammy again in the future.”

“Christopher gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. He met Ted, our Aussiedoodle, the week before scheduled our trip. While we were gone, he housesat and gave Ted lots of attention. He sent us text messages daily with photos of their outings. The house looked great when we got home and Ted was pretty mellow.”


“So happy to have been able to let my pup hang with Damon and play with friends! Damon was extremely accommodating, great communication and most importantly took care of little one! Thank you!”

“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.”


“If I could leave more stars than 5, I would - Allison is just wonderful; it’s such a blessing to leave Juno with such confidence. Thank you, Allison! :-) See you next time!”


“Jake took great care of my dog for a week on short notice. He's very flexible and responsive and his dog is super easy going with my dog. I've booked with him twice now, and plan on booking within in the future!”

“Sarah has watched our pup several times and we could never ask for better care. She is great with sending updates and you can tell how much they care for the pups. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Heather was amazing! We had not met heather in person until the time of drop off, she was so nice, kind, and great with our sweet Stella! I highly recommend using Heather, she was very attentive to Stella and trying to make her feel as at home as possible. She sent us photo updates every day.”

“Kimo is officially Connor's sitter. Connor usually stays with family for when my husband and I go out of town. We just moved to Portland just over a year and it's just the 3 of us, no family to watch him. I came on Rover and saw Kimo's profile and decided to message him. He responded very quickly and answered all my questions and concerns about leaving Connor with him, he made me feel very comfortable. Connor was with Kimo a week, and everyday he sent pictures, videos, and responded to my text immediately. I highly recommend Kimo to watch your fur baby/babies.”


“This was Henry’s third stay with Ron and Henry was clearly happy to see him when we dropped him off. As always, when we picked him up he seemed happy and was obviously well cared for. Ron has a great, calm demeanor that makes Henry comfortable immediately. So glad to have a sitter we can trust!”
“Keaton and fam were awesome! Daily check ins with photos of our dog having fun and being comfortable. He took great care of our dog and was totally evident in the pictures and when we picked her up! Highly recommend, will definitely use him again!”

“Lisa is such a kind, easy going, and thoughtful person. She takes the time to learn and carry out your pet’s care instructions, and also sent photos + well being updates every day. The best part of Lisa’s care was seeing Rooster so happy and content in her home, not rushing out the door when we arrived to pick him up. She has a perfect home away from home!”
“Gabriela was a great sitter for my 11 year old pup Rigo. She was responsive and friendly. She sent pictures of their walks together and made sure to keep me updated. My boy is a bit picky and she went above and beyond getting him to eat. I would request her to watch my pup again in the future!”

“She did wonderful, even on short notice. She saved our vacation while We were visiting Portland. She was very patient with my pups after being on a 10hr car ride. 10/10 I will have her watch my pups again when I visit again.”

“Excellent care provided for my kitty by Gretchen! She made sure she was on time to feed and care for Gracie 2x daily, and give her meds. Gracie seemed content and well taken care of when I returned home! Thanks Gretchen! I’ll be in touch again soon!”

“Ann was outstanding! She took great care of our kitty, gave us daily updates/photos and was an exceptional house sitter. I hope she's always available when we need her!!”
“Lucinda was such a help over Christmas! I ended up with one of my two cats needing pilled twice a day and ointment in his eye twice a day — he can be evasive and squirmy, too. Lucinda made sure he got his doses :) My house was clean and trash was even taken out when I got home!”

“Emma was amazing! Our cats clearly loved her and she was so great with communicating with us. We felt completely at ease with leaving our cats at home. Would 100% recommend Emma!”

“Stacy did an excellent job taking care of our cat Winston during our two week honeymoon. We returned to a relaxed car and well kept home. Her status updates allowed us to see the fun they were having during the visits!”


“I love the pictures of the kids! I love that Muffin came out and played! You were so wonderful to them.... maybe too wonderful... they seemed slightly disappointed when I came through the door on my return home. Adriana was very timely with the appointments and the communication was spot on. Thank you for watching the furballs. I would love to have you over again!”


“Came home to a happy cat, and that's always a relief ☺️ Rachel sent photos with Oliver playing and enjoying the sun, he was well fed and litter clean. Will book again, thanks Rachel!”

“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”


“Danielle is a dog whisperer!! Our little guy, Pharrell usually takes a while to warm up to new people and within 10 minutes he was licking Danielle’s face and just loved her. Sent us lots of updates & photos, which we loved seeing while out of town! Thank you Danielle!!”


“Andi was great with our cat Luna! She was even kind enough to bring in our packages while we were away. She provided great updates and sent plenty of pics making us feel at ease while we were on our trip. We’ve already re-booked with Andi for our next trip :)”


“Chloe is a wonderful and communicative sitter! I’m appreciative that she’s able to spend a lot of time at the house with Gretchen. Hope to continue to book Chloe when I’m away.”

About: Hi! I’m Michelle, and my happy place is anywhere animals are! I’m a seasoned sitter with over a decade of experience caring for pets - and often their second favorite human (after you, of course 😉) What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work remotely as a photographer, which allows me to offer 16+ hours of in-home care and companionship. This means that your pet gets plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day, and you might get the occasional artsy photo 🥳📸 I can also provide constant care services for pets requiring extra support. This premium offering ensures near round-the-clock companionship. (For more information on my house-sitting offerings, please view the second photo in my album.) I believe in-home care is the best way to keep your pets happy while you’re away, allowing them to remain in a familiar space and maintain their normal routine. When I’m with your pets, we follow their usual schedule as closely as possible. I also tune into their needs throughout the day - whether that’s extra playtime, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing together - so they feel secure, loved, and fully cared for. My goal is to provide your pets complete comfort and give you peace of mind 😌 I’m also a *huge* cat nerd - I have two of my own! I understand the difference in both care and personality between cats and dogs, and I always take the time to build trust and connection at whatever pace they need 🐾 If you’re looking for a sitter who’s reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pets, I’d be honored to care for them. I take this work seriously - and I feel lucky to do it 🤎 I am a self-employed photographer and a lot of my work is remote, so my schedule is flexible and ideal for overnight sitting! Your pets will be kept company most of the day at your home while I work (in reality they’ll be keeping *me* company 😉), and we will follow their usual routine as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and happiness 💜 I provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. I follow your instructions and adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Oh yeah, and I shower them with lots of love and attention! 🤩
“Tina took such great care of my geriatric cat during a holiday getaway. Her updates, reports and photos made my day each day I was away from Stella. I will absolutely book cat care with Tina in the near future.”
“I had to leave for a few days for a work trip, and I was extremely anxious about leaving my little-old-man of a cat home alone. I wanted somebody who I felt was reliable to check in on him and to be available in case of an emergency. Anna was very friendly, helpful, and attentive to my pet's needs. She did a great job and gave me some much needed peace of mind for my trip.”

“Hannah was the most wonderful pet-sitter for us while we were away for two weeks. She sent updates and pictures daily and we knew our pets were well cared-for the entire time. Thank you, Hannah!”

“Shannon did an awesome watching our 2 senior cats while we were on vacation. She followed the instructions perfectly and gave them lots of love. I loved receiving pictures of the kitties every morning and evening.”

“Jourdan was able to help with a last minute drop in that allowed me to take care of some time sensitive family matters. Her communication, knowledge, and care went above and beyond. I was able to do what I needed to do, while also knowing my diabetic cat was in the best hands possible. Thank you again, Jordan!”

“Damon is a wonderful sitter and handled my two dogs with such great care! They had a great time and came thoroughly exhausted and happy. We got videos and photos throughout the day which was awesome. Your dog will be super cared for and in great hands with Damon! I highly recommend him.”

“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”

“Tommy was extremely communicative and provided a lot of good updates and photos during my dog's stay! You can tell he's really good with dogs and loves to be with them. Absolutely recommend Tommy to anyone in downtown PDX!”
About: I have worked at a doggie day care, dog walked and dog sat for years, and trained both of my personal dogs. My last dog was a reactive German Shepard so I have experience with leash reactive dogs. I try to do research and stay up to date on important animal care info and training! My schedule is changeable, but currently very flexible. I am planning on making it more routine and I am open throughout the week and during the weekends. I have a one year old border collie mix. I walk her twice a day, training everyday, and I take her on hikes and adventures on days off/ the weekend! I love to be active and if your dog is friendly I am happy to bring them along on our adventures!

“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”

“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”

“Our pup Kya had a great time staying with Allen and his dog! This was Kya's first time staying at someone else's house without us so we were a little nervous, but Allen made Kya feel right at home. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the evening, and she certainly made herself comfortable. We will definitely be leaving Kya with Allen again in the future!”

“I appreciate Alison taking my pup on such short notice. My little guy has never been away from home before so we were both nervous.. but Alison did awesome at making us both feel safe and secure ij her care. Sending me beautiful photos and updates of my pup throughout the day was much appreciated 🥰 thanks Alison”


“Today was my dog's first actual visit, after a brief evaluation visit, which I believe he remembered based on his *very* excited behavior when we pulled in. When I picked him up, he was super happy, ready to rest in the car, and had obviously had a great day. Jennifer sent photos of his walk and an update. I feel totally confident bringing him back, that he'll be safe and well taken care of.”

“Our dog doesn't do well alone and had a great time at Heather and Roberto's for daycare. I loved the picture updates and our dog came home happy and a little tired, which is just what we wanted!”

“Keaton was great! He took care of our 4 month old puppy for an entire day, making sure he had plenty of potty breaks (every hour) and multiple 30 minute walks to get out his energy. He was fantastic with Eggington and made sure he felt safe and comfortable (Eggington took to him immediately!). Greatly appreciate Keaton's care towards dogs and flexibility to work with our schedules!”

“Catherine was great with our pup! We were traveling from out of state and needed someone to hang out with our puppy while we attended a soccer game in Portland. Great communication, provided pictures while she was watching our pup, and did great with our high energy dog! Would highly recommend and would use again if we are in Portland again!”


“Ava is a gem! Super communicative, flexible, and caring. Very convenient to downtown Portland / Pearl District / Goose Hollow / Nob Hill. She met with me and my pup before our day care booking with her sweet Golden Retriever ‘Lila - I immediately noticed how well cared for and well mannered her pup is, which is in my opinion a very good sign of her care and dedication. Moseley can be anxious with new environments and being away from his people at first, she gave him love and helped him calm into his day with her and took him on a nice walk. Would absolutely book again!”

“Leah was available last minute to care for my new puppy. She sent several photos and updates throughout the time and it was clear my puppy loved her when I went to pick her up she kept pulling me back to Leah! We will definitely be using this star sitter more in the near future. thanks Leah.”
“They treated my dogs like their own. Even bathing them when they got a little messy. They sent photos & always responded when I was checking in. They asked many questions about routines & lifestyles to make sure it was a good fit prior. I will definitely be booking again :) thank you for caring for my dogs 🩵”

“What a fantastic oasis for our pup! She had an amazing time here, was lovingly welcomed and well taken care of. We would have her stay again if we were in town longer. This family is fantastic and provides a wonderful environment for dogs. Thank you!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of my little Al for our first Rover experience. You have such a kind disposition and immediately made me feel he would be taken care of by you. Truly thank you so much. ❤️”

“Parker had such a good time hanging out with Kimo. Kimo has such a chill space and lives close to a great park which was perfect for my senior pup. Kimo was very attentive and responsive. Highly recommend!”

“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.

“Danielle handled our two dogs with great care and we would absolutely trust her with our pups again! She was responsive, kind, and our dogs were happy and tired when we got back.”

“Liliana is lovely and definitely has a connection with dogs. My little dog Nina doesn’t trust people at all and she immediately liked Liliana. I was tied up when she came to walk Nina and Nina barked and then went out with her without any fuss and without me being there! Liliana is professional, friendly and punctual. HIGHLY recommend!! NOTE: I would hire her weekly but my sister offered to help me - it’s not because Liliana isn’t the best!”

“Chloe is great. She is wonderful at communication and sent a ton of pictures. She is very understanding of my dogs needs and personalities. We look forward to continuing to use her our dog care needs.”

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I’ll care for yours like they’re part of my own little crew. I’m a wedding and family photographer, and I share my home with a sweet corgi named Frankie and a cat named Becky. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy plenty of neighborhood walks, lots of cuddle time during the day, and fun play sessions in the backyard! Spacious/ quiet home, no kids, fenced yard. I live with an energetic corgi who loves to play to fetch. I also have a very chill cat who likes to watch what is going on.
“Stacey was awesome and our pup had an amazing time walking with her. I loved all the pics she sent and she gave thorough notes about each walk. We will definitely use Stacey again!”


About: Hey, I'm Maia and I've been taking care of pets since the age of ten, I love all animals and personally have 3 cats but have also previously had two dachshunds. Throughout the years I've taken care of a multitude of animals from large golden retrievers to small rodents. I'm especially good with shy animals and I'm ready to take all the time it needs for your pet to trust me. No matter the size, age or personality I'm exited to get to know your furry friend and give them to the care they need! I'm currently a student out of state and am available during all brakes. During the summer and all major holidays I'm ready to give your pet my full and undivided attention. I love the outdoors and spend a majority of my time out of school hiking and taking runs thought the neighborhood and nearby nature. I love having company wether that be a friend or a furry pal. My three cats are fully indoors and get most of their energy out by playing with one another or running around the house with me. My yard is fully fenced in and I live in a very walkable neighborhood great for dogs. While I am well experienced with both cats and dogs I love to hear all your personal tips and tricks for your furry friend as you know them best!
“Katlyn was wonderful and our Golden was so happy with her. She was punctual and communicated clearly with us. Our Golden is large and she handled him so well. We will definitely hire her in the future!”

“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”


“Alexander came for a first solo walk with our 65 lb dog-reactive girl, and reported that everything went well! We were sent a lot of great pictures. At the meet-and-greet, Alexander really listened and absorbed all the mitigation strategies that we have for the leash reactivity (even taking notes!). Thank you, Alexander!”

About: I grew up training and showing dogs and come with 9 years of experience in pet care and grooming. I currently do not have any dogs but am looking to offer my experience and care through dog walking and daycare and checkins. When housesitting I tend to vaccum and to some light cleaning to ensure that you are coming back to a clean home after your vacation. Looking forward to meeting your pets. I’m currently working full time but work a flex schedule and am fully available on weekends. I am free for daily walks and pet checkins I can check in with your pet, ensure proper exercise and potty breaks are taken throughout the day and ensure that feeding schedules are followed.

He came back happy, calmer, and way better at potty training. There are many caregivers out there but Tommy will take care of your baby like his own.”


“Dan took care of my dog for 3 overnights. He is very prompt with communication and sends daily message and photo updates. This was the first time that we’ve left her with someone that was not immediate family. The meet-n-greet, drop-off, and pick-up we’re all on our timing and very convenient. She made a doggy friend while with Dan and that brought comfort to us. We would book with him again.”
